Jordan Veretout - gone

[Matt Collins]

He's a level or two above us surely?

Nzogbia does seem to have removed all villa references from his profile though suggesting he's off. One rumour was that he was going to Nantes as part of the deal. Swap deals are actually quite rare though.

[Chinchilla Bathhouse]

His Wiki page shows him as a Villa player now so it must be true

I just checked and it says he's joined Plymouth Argyle...

According to wiki, he is the 13th Duke of Wybourne.

All hail the Duke!

Someone tweeted a pic of himself with N'Zogbia this morning, saying he'd been into his place of work.

Place of work looked like a high end bathroom / floor tiles outlet - that Spanish company, the one that has a branch where the Dallas Exchange used to be on the Stratford Road in Shirley maybe, can't remember the name now.

If he was leaving WHY WOULD HE BE SORTED A NEW KITCHEN OR BATHROOM OUT?

PS: Porcelanosa!

Moi? Le treizième Duc de Wynbourne? En Aston Villa? Avec ma réputation?

Does that mean he's now farting in our general direction?

A Balanced read, includes this:

"What does the future hold?

With a relatively low release clause, it would be no surprise to see Veretout moving on this summer. The player has stated a preference for Spain and its focus on technique, with Atletico Madrid a rumored destination. One could easily imagine Veretout as a long-term replacement for Gabi, adding depth alongside Saul Niguez if not figuring in the starting XI immediately. Arsenal, Inter Milan, and Newcastle have also been mentioned as potential destinations. Wherever the player’s future lies, he has stated that were he to leave Nantes, it would only be for a club with European football on the table, limiting his options domestically. For this writer, however, another season in Nantes would probably suit Veretout best, as despite his superb start to the season, he still hasn’t, for me, demonstrated the particular level of aptitude necessary to succeed at a club that is demonstrably bigger than Nantes, be it abroad or within the confines of Ligue 1."

Who knows...

I can't cope with all these Jordans, t'int right.

ANOTHER JORDAN!! French press reporting done deal. Midfielder at Nantes

I'm struggling to find any French outlet reporting this story.. he seems pretty talented though.

PS: Porcelanosa!

I've always thought that name sounds like Polari.  That's what Julian and Sandy would have called the toilet.

[purpletrousers]

Still. Even if it's all nonsense, I enjoyed the similar (better!) write up one we already have

(I'm presuming this made it to his thread?)

What is his line in hats? I'm reserving judgment until I know.

Pesky pilgrims. Perenially poised to pounce and prevent prospective player promises.
